Cleaning
Note: If the terminals show signs of excessive corrosion then refer cleaning to an authorized
technician.

6. Wetness or wet dirt on the battery indicates battery acid. Using a nonmetallic brush with
flexible bristles, wash the battery off with a strong solution of baking soda and hot water (one
pound of soda to a gallon of water). Continue until all fizzing stops, which indicates that the
acid has been neutralized. Then rinse thoroughly with clear water. DO NOT get any of the
solution into the battery cells.
Watering
Non-maintenance free batteries only.
Note: If the terminals show signs of excessive corrosion
then refer cleaning to an authorized technician.

battery filler. Never
add additional battery electrolyte to the batteries.

Charging
